Hammond Animal Shelter to open Saturdays

Tangipahoa Parish Animal Control now open on Saturday

Great news for the homeless pets of TPAC, Mr. Fitz, the new shelter director will open the animal shelter from 10 am to 2 pm on Saturdays when more people have time to visit and adopt a pet. This animal shelter like most in the south receives a great variety of dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens that one can choose from. All age ranges as well as all shapes and sizes from huge to tiny and from fuzzy to smooth coated. Please visit and check them all out!

Please download, print out, and post around the above flyer so that more animals in Hammond will be adopted from the animal shelter! With more convenient weekend hours maybe more families and their children will consider the adoption option instead of purchasing a new pet.
